Search Flights

search_flights

Read-only

Search flights between any two cities worldwide, including all routes to and from Tel Aviv (TLV / Ben Gurion). Supports Hebrew results with full right-to-left layout. Returns a curated set of options, each tagged with one or more categories:

best: the engine's recommended balance of price, total duration, and stops.
cheapest: lowest total price.
fastest: shortest total travel time. The categories overlap — a single flight can be both best and cheapest. Each option includes price, total durations, layovers, its categories, and a direct booking link. Options may include seats_remaining — the number of seats left in this booking class at this price; values of 4 or fewer indicate limited availability.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate read-only, open-world, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful behavioral details such as the interactive results widget, RTL Hebrew support, and the meaning of seats_remaining/limited availability, going beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured with actionable output details and category definitions. It is slightly longer than necessary, repeating some info already in the parameter schema, but each sentence adds meaningful context about results and behavior.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity, the description adequately covers the output format, category semantics, booking links, seat availability, and language behavior. It supplies enough context for an agent to call the tool and interpret results correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with every parameter already described. The description adds slight context for origin/destination (TLV/Ben Gurion) and language behavior, but mostly restates information already present in the schema, so it remains at baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: searching flights between any two worldwide cities, including routes to/from Tel Aviv. It specifies the resource (flights) and the action (search), making it unambiguous even without sibling tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives clear context on what the tool does and what it returns, including result categories and booking links. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives, but with no sibling tools, the guidance is adequate.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
